I would HIGHLY,HIGHLY recommend wrapping those Barkley shoes in plastic ASAP. You can tell by the air pockets discoloration in the soles that IF kept unwrapped, the soles WILL crumble. Please look into this

[@geodio]

All right. Having the bat for #40 and the cleats for #70 is ridiculous. You got me. Well done.

[@edens325]

Having Acunas cleats and his bat from his 40/70 historic season is just insane! That's a braves fans dream and that is too sweet !

[@wiw2u]

Need that base next, Geoff!!

[@ASCX770]

That drexler jersey is the best signing I've seen.

[@owenallsup]

Geoff, these are my favorite types of videos! Whenever you show off your personal collection, it’s always so amazing to see. You have great taste in cards and memorabilia. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-oo2dh8wd3x]

Lebrun sucks, put that $ into Kobe or Michael

[@christophertuck4281]

I love the videos of your personal collection. It's so awesome to see all these rare cards. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@yewayne]

It is always a joy to watch other collector getting beautiful pieces, we are here to collect, not try to flip it, or hate when others getting goodies

[@cjwalksalot5500]

Wow! The Acuna stuff is unreal! That could literally be on display in cooperstown at the HOF. I personally would deff have him sign the bat but I would leave the cleats as they are. It’s amazing that they still have the dirt on the bottom!

[@der2397]

Don't forget the asterisk because of shorter base paths, changed pick-off attempt rules, and other pitching rules. Ricky not happy.

[@cardboardcountdown]

Being a collector of 2000's refractors, its amazing to see a 2003 rainbow of anybody, let alone LeBron rookies! NICE!

[@scotttolliver9618]

Happy you’re able to collect so many cool cards and memorabilia. You can hear the joy you have as a collector.

[@shiestymunch6767]

showed us what he bought on youtube so that way it counts as a busniess expense. smart man

[@autismawareness8912]

He said they were for his "Personal Collection" about 25 times. Can not write these items off, if he does and gets audited he's got big problems. Prob a good investment for his shop to draw people in but once he goes on a public forum and says over and over these are my "Personal Collection" his ability to use them as a tax right off for the business is gone! BTW, Sick Stuff, VERY Jealous of the Jordan Olympic Badge, Geoff if you EVER want to sell it, PLEASE hit me up! Cheers

[@shiestymunch6767]

@@autismawareness8912 indeed but when the day comes when he wants to sell any of his "personal collection" in the shop for whatever reason, and if he takes a loss on any item he could write it off as a business expense, and this video could be used as proof in an audit. Corporations do it all the time, its a loophole in the schedule c tax form. Examples include things like pawn shops, and brick and mortar stores.

[@autismawareness8912]

I get that, not how I interpreted your comment. All good, Cheers. AGAIN GEOFF, remember this account if you ever decide to sell that Jordan Badge.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

I don’t think simply showing it on KZbin makes it a business expense. But there are definitely tax strategies with cards and collectibles… I’m not a tax expert but maybe I can bring one on for a future video.

[@autismawareness8912]

@@SportsCardInvestor Very “Gray” area from what I know. Not a Lic CPA but have run multiple companies and as you know, you learn a lot about taxes when doing so. I have to say it again, IF you ever decide to let that 92 Jordan badge go, PLZ remember this account. Not here to talk about myself but have a very close connection to the Bulls and MJ. I would LOVE to own that piece, Extremely Jealous. I’ve seen it before but don’t recall where/how you obtained it? Wish I had known, could have gone to battle with you for it. Lol. Cheers.

[@MAL0oFxboxlive]

Not sure why people hate on these videos. Just don’t watch? Some of really enjoy this content and are appreciative of what he’s doing for the hobby. Hopefully Jeff doesn’t GAF and laughs all the way to the bank!

It's not his fault that you are barely getting by. All you can do is the best you can but why down somebody else that can do things that you'd wish to

[@chrispyd603]

@@danieljohns6084I don’t think he was downing him, just sharing that he is struggling. 21 other people liked his comment so far so I think some people relate to him. He also was just trying to be funny/make light of his difficult situation and hard life. He wasn’t blaming anybody.

[@oarancards4443]

Good luck getting your money back on lebron horrible investment look like a clown with that suit on

[@blaineharteis7333]

I love seeing your collection Geoff! I've watched the Chasing Cardboard video with you and Ty a bunch of times. Your PC is absolutely incredible. I love the old vintage autos and the cool pieces of memorabilia that you collect.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Thank you!

[@sarng3832]

How you photo match when its all mass produced items?

[@jerrylapointe9154]

Yes, I would have Acuna autograph it, my favorite piece was the USA basketball, Drexler, Jordan, and Barkley Cool stuff

[@KeyKiller74]

Ok that Acuna bat with the baseball stamp on it was really cool. Love anything 92' Dream team USA. Awesome stuff Geoff 👍

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Thanks!

[@joeot7392]

Wow, thanks for sharing. Amazing collection!

[@jamesknutson4192]

I love seeing these new additions to your collection and hearing why they are important to you. Your passion for collecting clearly comes through and I always learn something. Keep it up!

[@bradleythatcher2869]

A Kobe Olympic pass would be awesome. He loved the Olympic Games so much.

[@mariopan72]

Thank you, bro, for having an entertaining channel.

[@barbaragilbert6444]

Amazing collection! So glad you shared some of your personal collection and will display them in your store for other collectors to enjoy and hopefully inspire new collectors!

Absolutely would want Acuna to sign!!

Went to the shop in March and there were so many amazing cards! Bummed I didn't get to meet Geoff tho

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Hope to meet you next time!

[@rlescaon]

Love the personal collection videos . This Lebron collection Amazing . I just rewatched the video where he got the gold rookie refractor. So good!

[@Lavici]

Great video. Love the collection. Pay no attention to the haters comments that couldn't afford the grading fee on a single one of these items let alone ever owning anything like this! Pure jealousy from some people!

[@tdog3213]

The Clyde Drexler Jersey was so cool!

[@papaupa3854]

Acuña cleats and bats are insane

[@jeffshaw4039]

You have some great sports items. Thanks for sharing.

[@brendanbullock9468]

Incredible Acuna pieces. I would have him sign the bat but not the cleats!

[@MidLifeCards]

These are some really awesome pickups. Congrats on the amazing additions to your collection.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Thank you so much

[@ThisandThatTN]

yes, 100 percent have him sign the cleats and bat. if folks could go back in time and have legends sign their very significant bats, gloves, and balls....they FOR SURE would

[@BallerMJ45]

Amazing pick ups! Real ones get motivated and inspired by videos like this. A lot of pocket watchers and haters in the comments need to work on themselves…Thanks for the motivation and great content Geoff!

[@RonLoranger-cz9tb]

That’s an awesome collection Geoff. 1st Year Lebron Topps Chrome Rainbow is one my favorite for money reasons. Just as something neat to have that’s the rarest would be the MJ and LJ Authenticated Olympic Passes. I would definitely get Acuna to sign the cleats and bat without a doubt.

[@swizzle1199]

Damn all this from investing in Will Grier? Incredible!

[@jamesrfb]

I liked the first Lebron card, but everything you had was very cool. Thanks very much for sharing!

[@ehyouman]

Those Olympic IDs are my personal fav, thanks for sharing. So unique

[@JKKollectables]

Incredible to be able to have both Cleats and Bat from the 40/70 moments. That is insane. Actually surprised that Cooperstown didn't come snatch them up. Who knows, they may come calling begging you to sell those to them. Drexler's game worn jersey signed that way is crazy also. Good stuff Geoff, love seeing your PC. 👍

[@officialghetty]

How does photo matched work ? Like how does a picture prove it’s the same actual jersey

[@johnwayne9828]

😂😂😂it doesnt.

[@SmartCard67]

Love this video - I learned a lots . I think Clyde Drexler jersey is the best 😅

[@hjplano]

Geoff, I have something you might be interested in, its a Florida Gator putter headcover signed by Billy Ho

[@johnnylv5452]

Definitely signed the Acunas memorabilia. One of a kind and have it on record for the whole world to see. 😎👌🔥💯

no he cashed that card out along with the lonzo ball rookies and was able to buy all that stuff.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

[@RickLugoLugoStudios]

I usually hate people that flex so much but he does give a lot of stuff away and he also owns a very lucrative business more power to him

[@randyham6172]

Yes I would have him sign them

[@johnwaynecollection]

The lebron collection is wild. I also collect the Lebron Topps Refractors specifically myself. Including the Rookie Black Refractor/500. I prolly have 15 refractors, but no golds. I would love to step it up and buy the Rookie Gold /50 one day. Ill gladly pay the six figures. Not a fan of the baseball cleats since shoes aged terribly. The bat and basketball is nice. I WOULD get them auto’d. The idea of the Wemby 1/1 rookie would be devalued if he hand signed it is one of the worst perspective you could have. The players auto always brings you closer than any PSA certification could give you.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Thanks for the comments, I love the Black Refractor!

[@kk_itsover]

enjoyed this video! this is why we collect!

[@brushben22]

Great stuff Geoff. Those Beckett slabs look Soooo much better than the PSA

[@rathofturkey]

Not really a basketball fan, but I think my favorite was that 1984 team signed basketball with its fancy stand.

[@jaymahnC5]

What a collection! I’m a Lakers fan but not necessarily a Lebron fan. I know, surprisingly. But I do love your LBJ collection. My favorite, however, was the Drexler jersey. And I agree the signing’s just accentuate the piece. Congratulations!

[@akivadaawsome2469]

Awesome videos your cards are awesome I got some myself

[@sjspatriotspc]

Those pieces are insane man awesome pickups

[@mrnobody92281]

The bumpers are ridiculous Jeff. If you're actually putting high end cards in them, you're stupid. But play at your own risk. Why you wouldn't have a bag around them, or a slabmag, not the trash bumpers.. Are they cool, sure. Are they really going to prevent scratching??? No. If you're dropping cards so much you need bumpers, you're in the wrong hobby to begin with.

[@santaclause3487]

The Tebow card is dope

[@planetawesome3575]

Such a great time to be buying 😌...Some great opportunities out there right now. But, have noticed the selling inventory on certain cards/sets is not as big as the past couple years. Specifically notice this on Ebay...Is whatnot and other selling venues taking more of the online selling marketplace volume now?

[@sweikel7012]

I think spending that kinda money is crazy

[@don951]

[@grownmanlookingatsportscar194]

Cool stuff! The Lebron cards are my favorites. The most surprising piece was the 84 Olympic signed basketball-for only $10k. That seems inexpensive (relatively speaking) compared to other items you displayed. Will be interesting to see what the Jordan market looks like in 15-20 years. I think long term his cards will drop. Assume this is an unpopular opinion. Besides Tebow do you collect much football? That seemed to be missing from items you showed. Thoughts on Brady? Thanks for posting. The Acuna memorabilia will be a nice draw in your card shop.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

I don’t have a ton of football but I do think Brady will be good for the long term. I have some nice Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson.

[@kevindeborde656]

Don’t get the cleats autographed but get the bat bat autographed

Geoff has a monster collection and he's super sharp as a businessman. Ive always wondered how taxes work with a soorts card business. Can you claim losses or depreciation on a card or collection. I imagine there also needs to be serious insurance to cover a collection like his. Ps- Geoff if youre seeing this is everything okay from trade night. It sounded like something happened I hope all is well.

[@Podobed]

Ps- I'm collecting much smaller cards (obviously) but moreso Ive moved any extra money into gold or the snp500. This market is incredible but Im looking for security right now.

[@JAYTEAM187]

He is not going to give business advise over youtube, it's too much of a liability.

[@Podobed]

@@JAYTEAM187 i dont expect him too that was hypothetical. The only direct question was about his trade night livestream

If he can't write of those losses, he would be doing great!! He has no idea what he is doing on buying cards or investing in those 3 other businesses that he was promoting over the years. All 3 of those businesses are out of business!! Geoff Wilson is a clown.

[@chad66001]
